Klappentext New York Times bestselling author, Fox News contributor, and former Congressman Jason Chaffetz reveals how an unelected bureaucracy?and not just the government?is infringing on our rights. For years, many Americans have increasingly felt that their votes don't change things. While the powerful unelected bureaucracy has certainly instituted liberal policies that Americans don't want, there is another force pushing leftism into American society. From nonprofit leaders to union bosses to global CEOs, many unelected and unchanging leaders have worked in parallel with the aims of ?permanent Washington.? Through everything from curriculum to ESG standards, these leaders have quietly mainstreamed progressivism. Ideas that used to be only on the left are now ?normal? in American life.

In The Puppeteers , Chaffetz reveals how: Susan Rice was put in charge of using the bureaucracy to make sure Republicans never win another election The federal government now could be deployed to harvest ballots from Democrats President Biden hired a Blackrock executive to run his economic agenda for the first two years of his presidency State treasurers planned to use billions of government dollars to “address climate change” and “racial inequality,” with almost no way for voters to stop them Randi Weingarten makes more decisions for the education department than people who actually work there Electing the right leaders is no longer enough. To take back our country, the American people need to understand that they’re in a new fight. But it’s a fight that’s still eminently winnable, and Chaffetz reveals the playbook. ...
